I have a Canon XH A1 camera and record voice and other audio using an iPod Nano with a stereo microphone, recording highest quality WAV file.

Once I get the audio all lined up with the video (usually requires speeding the audio up slightly to sync) everything looks great and sounds great in the preview. No noise at all in the audio...not in the original WAV file, in Premiere Pro or in the audio from the camera.

After going through Adobe Media Encoder, the MOV file I create has a clicking/crackling sound (kind of like old vinyl, but louder, quiet popping) any time the audio came from the iPod.

I recorded it using a belkin tune talk stereo, taped up to a podium where somebody was speaking.

I've read elsewhere that the camera and iPod probably are using a different clock processor and wind up perceiving time just a hair differently. The audio has to be sped up to 100.04% to match up with the video.

Putting the audio out to an MP3 gives good clear audio without the crackling sound.

I'm having the same issue. I was doing voice overs with a small micro recorder, saving to MP3 and when I pop these into PPro CS3 it sounds fine on the timeline but whatever it is rendered to gives me pops and clicks and hiss as that audio that was provided in the way of an MP3 file plays in thoutput file.

Open the original sound file in for example SoundBooth. Apply a bandpass filter (high order) that preserves the sound of interest well. If voice, I would suggest 100Hz to 8kHz as a starter. Export to same as source (bits and. kHz), but if source is anything else than wave, select .wav as output.

Now import the "bandpassed" version into Premiere and see if the exports are getting the same Crackling/Clicking.

The solution I used was importing my audio into Audition and running "auto click/pop eliminatior" on the clip. Then imported that audio clip in to Priemere and exchanged the original audio with the audio saved from Audition, and then relinked the video and audio. Worked great.

I had this problem for the first time too. I was able to eliminate it by removing my time stretch (my audio was at 100.1%). It seems that Premiere just sucks at time-stretching audio now. I suppose our solution is to use a different application to timestretch. or sync by chopping a few frames out here and there.

In Audition, one can limit their Cuts to Zero Crossings (not sure about SoundBooth?), but as PrPro is a Video editor (with almost everything geared for Video), that also does some Audio editing, I do not think it has such a limit, unless it's been added very recently.

Having same issues with a WAV file. I tried Audacity, remove click, even though there was none that I could hear in Audacity. I changed to a different format AIFF, still same. The WAV was playing perfect in media player and audacity. It's now fixed. I looked at the Preview pane in after effects, accidentally changed the playback FRAMERATE to 60,which was double speed, obviously no good, then I changed it to 29.97 thinking that was the original and all fixed. It was the playback speed originally set to 30 somehow making the clicking sounds.
